In April 2220, Longjun, Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Temple.

Tao Wu led Jack into a not-so-large reception room, asked him to sit for a while, and then went out.

Jack did not wait long, and within three minutes, Meng Qihan's figure appeared at the door.

When Meng Jiehan entered the house, Jack looked him up and down, and saw that Xiao Meng was wearing a dark Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, cloth shoes, a fake beard sticking to his mouth, and a thermos in his hand... It is hard to tell whether his appearance and temperament look like an extra or an old cadre.

"Hi, Brother Jie, it's been a long time no see." Meng Jiehan was quite polite. He greeted Jack enthusiastically when he saw him.

"'Brother Jay'?" Jack repeated the title in a questioning tone without expression.

"What's wrong? The screaming was so close?" Meng Jiehan sat down and continued, "Why... I'll call you donor Anderson? Or Jack?"

"Just call Jack..." Jack didn't want to continue to argue with him about this matter.

"Okay." Meng Jiehan shrugged and continued, "Then... Jack, come to me today, what's the point of doing?"

"You know me." Jack immediately responded in a sarcastic tone, "If there is something, there is someone, there is nothing."

"Oh..." Meng Jiehan sighed immediately, "You... can't say false and polite words occasionally, such as 'Come and see old friends'. This is how you can speak better when you say things."

"No need to say those friends who are really close, it's useless to say those who are not close." How could Jack not understand these human feelings? It's just that he is already tired of those.

"Oh..." Meng Jiehan nodded and asked again, "Then are you and I close?"

"Not count." Jack said.

"Then are you still coming to see me?" Meng Jiehan said.

"Because I know very well that you are a good person at heart, you still care about and have mercy on the world." Jack said.

"Stop! I'm not, I don't! You're talking about the Virgin Mary, the Christian next door." Meng Jiehan quickly waved his hand and said in a tone of righteousness and clearing the relationship, "I'm just a fake Taoist priest, a real civil servant, I won't take that kind of white left line... You'd better figure it out, I'm already the national teacher of the Sixth Empire, to put it bluntly, it's called the court hawk, and it means the same as the single master who was killed by me... Don't come and put a high hat on me, put a secret trap..."

When Jack heard this, his expression still changed. He just continued lightly: "Okay, stop acting. I know you are here to secretly contain the 'joint and several' people who have been liquidated by the empire, including the grassroots federal soldiers, staff, their relatives and friends, the elderly, and children..."

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!" Meng Jiehan interrupted the other party again, got up and closed the door of the reception room. Before closing, he leaned his head and looked around the corridor, "Look at me..." He said, walking back and sitting down again, lowering his voice, "The temple gate is so small, and it is a public place. How could so many people come in and out? How could you hide what you said..."

"You used magic weapons to build a space similar to a shelter for them, right?" Jack interrupted before he could finish speaking, "You don't have to hide it from me. Within a certain distance, my ability can sense the existence of multiple planes."

When Meng Jiehan heard that the other party had said this, he curled his lips helplessly: "Okay... does this mean that Zilin also knows it?"

"Don't worry, like you, I have found a way to block the "Book of Hearts"." Jack said. "Although I can't use the "enchant" form to achieve regional blocking like you, I can guarantee that at least I will not be detected by the Book of Hearts anywhere, so even if I walk out of this Taoist temple later, I will not disclose the information I get here."

"Hi~ You've said it earlier." Meng Jiehan said with a clear sigh of relief, then changed his mind, "Okay, are you here to discuss what's going on with me?"

"I want information about the people you take in," Jack said. "Basic, such as number of people, name, gender, age, occupation, etc., it is better to ask them if there are any other related friends who are still involved."

"What do you want these?" Meng Weihan said suspiciously.

"Of course it's to save more people." Jack replied, paused, and then said in detail, "First of all, the number of those people you saved is now quite large, and it's hard to guarantee that there will be no one or two undercover or unstable people in it... Let's take a step back, even if there are no such people, they may be threatened because their families who are left outside fall into the hands of the empire and then betray the people here.

"So it is necessary to investigate and supervise these people, and at the same time, someone must try his best to rescue their relatives outside to eliminate the latter situation.

"Secondly, I need to know how much you can afford to the shelter you create, and how to open the entrance from a distance and send people in it... In the past few months, I have had enough of seeing those who were saved by me, but I can't stay in the same place forever; if I can send them into your shelter, at least temporarily protect them for a while."

When Meng Jiehan heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Well... I understand." He picked up the thermos and drank a sip of water. "Tsk... Then, before I answer your question, can you answer me a question first?"

"What?" Jack asked.

"You are doing your business for Zilin..." Meng Jiehan looked straight into the other party's eyes calmly, "Is it for the sake of glory and wealth, or is it forced to do so?"

At this moment, the expression of that "Jack" also changed.

He could tell from Meng Qihan's eyes... These words were not temptations.

"Hu..." After a few seconds of hesitation, "Faceless" was discouraged. He no longer maintained his appearance as "Jack", but quickly turned into a handsome young man.

"The moment I was found by His Majesty the Emperor, I was forced to do anything." Wumeng continued the topic just now and replied, "Since I was forced to do something, I came here, and I was at ease, and sought glory and wealth."

"Well... you can't blame you," Meng Jiehan thought.

"But you still have to kill me to solve the problem." Wuying asked.

"Oh?" Meng Jiehan said, "Why?"

"Simple reasoning." Wumeng responded in a calm tone, "'Shaped Ability' is an extremely rare supernatural ability. Not counting the 'dark water' that I only knew about it recently. There are only two abilities in this world, such as Sui Ren and Sui Ren. Now that Sui Ren is dead, then I am the only one left...

"Because our ability is too ‘convenient’, no matter what era we are in, we will be the object of competition among all forces. Even if I do not want to serve any party, it will still be regarded as a threat. This is called ‘the crime of possessing a treasure’…

"You know now that I am serving the emperor, how could you let me go back?

"You let me go back today. I may become anyone tomorrow. I will lie to you or those around you again. You cannot always be on guard against me, right?"

Meng Jiehan said: "You have settled the accounts quite clearly, but, rather than dying, do you think... it is a better choice to surrender to me and enter my refuge?"

"But you don't have a book of heart, can you trust me?" asked Wuwei, "How do you know that you have discovered my identity at this moment, not part of the plan? Maybe I got Zilin's order and deliberately pretended to be unafraid of death to penetrate you as an undercover agent; including I am analyzing these with you now... they may be acting."

"It seems that we are trapped in a deadlock that we cannot prove or falsify our thoughts and words about you, and we cannot let you go or leave you." Meng Weihan said.

"If I die, I can break the deadlock." Wuwei said.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Meng Jiehan said.

"I'm afraid." Wumeng said, "but when there are few choices, as a pragmatic person, I never have any luck. I will choose a more acceptable way to face the inevitable tragedy."

"In other words... you would rather die here at me than just reading the quilt after you walk out and then dying at his hands?" Meng Weihan quickly understood the meaning of the other dialect.

"You can say that." Wuwei's hands said, "I thought I would breathe a sigh of relief after escaping the troubled times. Who knew that the emperor would not let me go after all. It would be a relief to die than to earn the wealth and honor under his hands with fear."

"Since you've talked about this..." Meng Jiehan heard this, and grabbed it, and sacrificed a magic weapon out of thin air.

Wumeng did not react when he saw the other party's actions. First, he did not think that he would be Meng Qihan's opponent; second, what he said just now was true, and he had already realized his death.

"...Then I will save your life and give you another journey in accordance with the compassion of monks." Meng Jiehan said, and the magic weapon in his hand that looked like a coral suddenly emitted a strong light.

Wumeng was shining with the strong light, and instinctively closed his eyes. When he opened it again, he found that he was standing in a strange alley. He later realized that this was a small county town more than ten kilometers away from Longhu Mountain.

"Eh?" Before Wumeng could come back from this surprise, he soon discovered something that surprised him even more - his ability was useless.

Although his physical fitness is undoubtedly the level of a capable person, when he tried to change his appearance, his supernatural powers were not activated; he tried to cut through the back of his hand and found that even the accompanying self-healing effect had disappeared.

Faceless and suspicious about this abnormality, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Fortunately, he is a very good at settle accounts. After staying there for more than two minutes, he settled the accounts clearly...

No matter what Meng Jiehan did, it was indeed "save his life"; now that he could no longer change his appearance, there was no need to return to the empire to report, and there was no need to worry that Zi Lin would come to him again and hold him accountable - because he is now a "waste" to Zi Lin, just like Solid's situation.

Zilin will naturally see his experiences and ideas through the Book of Heart, so he doesn't have to explain anything.

Faceless, since this day, he lived in the random appearance he finally became, and lived an ordinary life...

However, due to the disappearance of the characteristics of the shape-changer, his lifespan has also returned to a limit similar to that of ordinary people. His actual age is not as young as his last face. His cells are actually quite old, so after that... only ten years later, he died.

Of course, for him, that was the best decade of his life.

No need to disguise, no need to hide, no need to be wary of whether everyone around you has plans every day and night; you can fall asleep peacefully every day, reveal true joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, have a fixed identity, a fixed job, a fixed social circle, a fixed life... you can have those things that he has never had since his real age was twelve.

This was indeed an ending that he had never expected, had never expected, but was extremely grateful...

…………

"What did you do to him?" Meng Jiehan had just sent the faceless away. The real Jack Anderson pushed the door and walked into the reception room and asked.

That's right, Jack is really in the Heavenly Master Temple, and he has been here long ago, so as soon as Jack, who is faceless, pretended to be fake, Meng Weihan knew that the other party was fake. He pretended not to know, just to wait for the other party to say his request, so as to test his intention to come over there.

"I sealed his abilities in a magic weapon." Meng Jiehan said, "In this way... Zilin should let him go."

"You can even do that?" Jack said.

"I can't." Meng Jiehan was still modest, "Master Zhang Tian's magic weapon can." He paused, "But don't think too much... This thing is ineffective for those complex and advanced abilities."

"I guessed it." Jack did not think too much. He knew that this kind of thing was useless for real high-level abilities; he also knew that although the form-changing person was rare, the principle of his ability itself was not complicated. He just added the mutant attributes of cell imitation/fine-tuning on the basis of self-healing ability. Moreover, the level of faceless ability is not high.

"Then..." Two seconds later, Jack said again, "What do you think about Zi Lin Sect coming to inquire about the information?"

"Ha..." Meng Jiehan smiled, "He was not here to find out any information, but instead, he used this method to send us a few messages."

"We?" Jack heard something in the other party's words.

"Yes, of course it's 'we'." Meng Jiehan continued, "Isn't he just telling you that 'I know Jack is here with you'?" He drank another sip of water from the thermos cup, "If Zilin really wants Wuwei to lurk in, there are ways, but becoming you... can be said to be one of the worst choices."

"It makes sense." Jack nodded.

"And he asked the faceless question from the perspective of "communicating information", and to understand a few of the key words, the other way around, is to understand them." Meng Jiehan continued, "Simply put... he actually doesn't care whether I save the 'coherent harm' caused by him. What he cares about is a small number of undercover agents from the federal or some rebel groups, mixed with refugees, and the 'unstable people' developed by these guys. The existence of such people is a 'threat' to other real refugees, who may work with their accomplices outside to put pressure on others in the shelter and try to rebuild their original organization.

“He hopes that I can ‘investigate’ the number, name, gender, age, occupation… by ’taking’ of those who are being taken into … find these people out, give them to him, and strengthen ‘regulation’ of the remaining people.

"In addition, he also reminded me not to think about saving everyone. My protection is ultimately 'temporary'. Some people can't escape death in the end, and it is not impossible for him to invade the phase layer I created from afar...

"As for Wumeng... it is actually a little bit of "sincerity" sent by Zilin. I think he had expected Wumeng would not go back again after he was Wumeng.

"He deliberately found out the only remaining human form changer in the world, and sent it to us as an identity that would be discovered immediately, and also used it to point out the game space between us at the level of the "Book of Heart"...all to reassure me."

Upon hearing this, Jack immediately continued, "Why did you become 'you' when you get here? What about 'we'?"

"There is no 'we' here." Meng Jiehan said, "You must understand that the boundary between me and him has been drawn, but you have not..." Speaking of this, he took off his fake beard and threw it on the table. "At present, I have done everything I can. If I don't do it, it means I can't do it, or shouldn't do it."

"Do you shouldn't do it, or do you don't want to do it?" Jack looked in a questioning look.

"If you know as much as I do, you will understand that for me, what I shouldn't do will be something I don't want to do." Meng Jiehan said, "Only you, the people in the world who are blinded by the turbidity of the world, will first have the idea of ​​not wanting to do, and then give yourself reasons that you shouldn't do."

"Hmph... I used that 'Heavenly Way' to send me away again." Jack lowered his head and snorted coldly.

"You will know whether it's a sender or not in the future." Meng Weihan suddenly stopped after saying this.

He brewed for a moment and said again: "A man broke an statue of a god in the church, because at that moment, he felt that the worldly justice was gone, the cause and effect were gone, and the hope of human nature was gone...

"So, the man pursued an invitation and walked into a bookstore because he wanted to seek an 'answer' in this dark world, a light that could point him to the future direction.

"And now, after experiencing self-questioning and self-betrayal, is the thought left in this man's heart? Is it revenge, redemption, or another judgment?"

Jack didn't ask Meng Weihan how he knew this.

He was just silent, silent for a long time.

Then, Jack finally... thought of something very important and important, and then said, "'Each of us is guilty'... that's what he said?"

"Yes." At this moment, Meng Weihan's eyebrows showed a little bitterness, "'Everyone', of course, also includes himself."

"Ha..." Jack smiled, "It turns out that he gave us the answer from the beginning, but we were not listening."
